According to representatives for HIGH TIMES magazine, sponsors of the 24th Annual Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam, the event will continue tonight with a scheduled concert at the Melkweg concert hall (Lijnbaansgracht 234), followed by a full day of the expo (including voting) at the Borchland (Borchlandweg) on Thursday, the final day of the competition. An additional voting station will be set up starting at 2PM on Thursday at the Melkweg, which will remain open until the beginning of the official Cannabis Cup awards ceremony at 8PM.
Organizers say that their interactions with Dutch law enforcement started over a misunderstanding about a permit application filed by the venue to host the event, a situation that lead to a clearing of the expo by law enforcement. The misunderstanding has since been resolved.
No attendees were arrested and attendees are not the targets of the police presence. Police entered the expo to ensure that all vendors were in compliance with tax laws and a 500 gram limit for cannabis that’s enforced in the Netherlands. Only one vendor has been identified as potentially over the limit, and if so, only slightly. Continue to check http://hightimes.com for the latest coverage of this ongoing global ganja event!

wow check this out from wiki about the opium law used to regulate all drugs in Holland.
its' not illegal to smoke so that's why they let them smoke while being searched. It's illegal for individuals to have over 5 grams. Only licensed coffee shops can sell bud or hash; and that is a 5 gram sale limit per customer and no more than 500 grams on premises. The vendors can only sell seeds at the expo as long as they have the correct permits.
the limit is 500g not 100g and they took the smallest amount off people too, even lower then 5 g

arrived yesterday, after 1 h on the cup it was over. they took away my weed.
and when the policeman searched my pockets, he asked where i am from. i said germany and he began to speak german and his german was good enough to understand what i mean, when i asked:
what happend to netherland football last week?
he had a smile on his face when i was going.
milla, i heard, was arrested only for a few hours. she had 100 g plantmaterial for demonstration.
she asked: why she was not not arrested a few weeks ago, when she was at the tv, there it was even more.
thanks to hash king rene, the ak 47 hash was a perfect smoke.
so i´m home again. my weed is even better than the stuff they sell in the coffeeshop.

just curious but who's Debbie goldsberg ?
debbie goldsberry rund the berkeley patients group in cali.
how is this same as usual?? America dominated the cup this year. Cali Connection won a ton of cups and best sativa went not to some version of SSH, but Moonshine Haze from Rare Dankness, a Colorado seed company founded by a longtime member of our online community.
Congrats Moonshine, I'll always remember being there to share this special thanksgiving with you.
even before the end of the cup, talking to a lot european breeders, they knew they needed to get american genes over here.
after the ceremony tonight coffee shop owners were overheard pondering outlloud how the fuck they were gonna get all theese genes in their shops by next year.

I guess the locals will get to enjoy the new genetics from the US. If there new law goes into effect People from the USA wont be allowed in there coffee shops any longer..
I think we should hold a cannabis cup. Hopefully in 2012 some new laws will be on the books..
